I have a lot to be thankful for in my life, but I don’t always recognize it (which is something I’m really not proud of). Lately, I’ve been trying to turn this around. Every morning for the last few months, I’ve made it a point to take just a few moments to practice gratitude, thanking God for all that’s been given to me. This small ritual has programmed me to start looking for the good, even in those not-so-fun moments.
For example, when I find myself grumbling about having to do laundry, I am reminded that it’s a blessing to have clothes to wash, and my very own washing machine to wash them in. When I’m dealing with a difficult client, I feel gratitude for even having a job, and try to use the experience as an opportunity to improve the way my business is run.
I know it’s not always easy to see the good in everything— especially in those really tough times, like having your heart broken or losing a loved one— but if we can focus on finding joy in the small stuff, it might make it just a little easier to get through those hard moments. What are ways you practice gratitude in your life?
For those who may be new to my Motivation Mondays, here’s a little rundown of how it works:
Every Monday, a new motivational quote print will be posted. You will have the opportunity to download and print the artwork designed by yours truly for one week. After that, it gets moved into my shop where it will then be available for purchase only. At that time, a new piece of inspirational artwork will be posted for the next week…and so on!
The best way to make sure you don’t miss a week, is to stay connected through my email mailing list. If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so right here.
